They will stamp you passport with the usual entry and exit stamp. The PIO card number is your visa number (many airlines doing API don't know this)

I noticed that "PIO Card" or "PIO" seems to have been purposely removed (at least the bulk of the print, even if not the entire outline of the characters) from the board in the immigration arrivals area at DEL. For those who use that lane on a PIO basis, I hope this isn't a sign of a change in practice. Perhaps a PIO card-holder who goes in/out of DEL can share with us their experience since mid-February.

You mean PIO?

I might even avoid DEL if this is the case.

UPDATES:
I passed through the BOM airport this weekend and the POI lanes are alive and
well in the newly renovated arrival/immigration area.
India has adopted the UK style security measures.. with only one hand bag -
laptop counts as one...
but the posted rules and the enforcement was
not consistent.
Some posted notes also said the following items were banned from hand
luggage:
batteries including loose laptop batteries,
chargers and electronic gadgets, liquids and gels of any kind
(quantity was not posted)
out of 4 times - once they made me open up the bags for AA batteries..
a simple "please" worked and I was able to keep them

you might want to hit a clipper lounge in the International terminal if you have
enough time: https://www.mastercardmoments.com/pa...d=707&cat=1090
Just use your master card (gold/platinum/titanium etc) for access.

I'm flying in on Swiss. Can I use the lounge in the departure area when I arrive after midnight?
How about Kingfisher? Do they have a first class club in the domestic terminal? What time does it open?
TIA!
